Ben Jamin Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) My G&L's getting on a bit and needs a bit of TLC in the electronics area: The barrel jack input is worn out so if I'm not careful with my cable I get awful pops The series/parallel switch sometimes creates loud pops when used The pots are slightly scratchy All in all, in my amateur guesstimation, I think it needs the barrel jack replacing and some cleaning. After taking a look inside though I realised pretty quickly that I'm not qualified to do this work. It's not a P-bass. There's a lot going on in there. However I have no idea who I can rely on to sort this out relatively locally! Can anyone recommend someone in the Lincoln / midlands area?

Bridgehouse Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 How far are you prepared to go? My go to is Steve Robinson (Manchester Guitar Tech) - he’s a way away but he is exceptionally good - he would do a setup at the same time and get it playing beautifully 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

converse320 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'd happily recommend John Le Voi at Alford, which isn't too far from you. He did mine while I waited, but you do need to make an appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
